Teijin Automotive Technologies: Innovations in Composites 2025

Introduction

In the modern competitive automotive world, lightweight and strong composites have become one of the key drivers of innovation- at least according to Teijin Automotive Technologies (TAT). Its transformation into an integrated components provider as well as its foray into cleaner design along with agile supply chains is redefining the script on advanced composites, clean design, and supply chain agility, as of 2025. We eliminate the focus keyword with ease in the first 100 words, retaining its heritage and making it moving into the future.

By 2025, Teijin Automotive Technologies has become a North American-grown juggernaut, with revenues of more than USD 1 billion, offering proprietary composite solutions to tailor battery housings of EVs to structural car parts. In this article, we strip away the layers of its recent rebrand to CSP, look at the company and explore its innovation portfolio and in doing so explain why it is relevant to OEMs, sustainability advocates and tech-minded readers alike.

Our challenge: provide an expert level perspective that is ahead of the competitive content. We will work through what other sources focus on- and what is lacking in them- then provide deeper analysis, comparative data, frequently asked questions and strong course of action.

Competitor Analysis / Search Intent

A selection of leading articles on Teijin Automotive Technologies (and related keywords) usually includes such issues.

Strengths:

Outline composite material types (e.g., thermosets, thermoplastics, CFRP, Serio ) and some applications.

Emphasize on sustainability advantages–light weighting of EVs, lower emissions.

Weaknesses / Gaps:

Absence of up to date events of 2025 particularly ownership changes and rebranding.

Not much information when it comes to scale–revenue, employee count, facility spread.

Scanty comparative graphics or table stat information

Little discourse of North American dynamics as opposed to global operations.

This article narrows these gaps by:

Introducing 2025 rebranding, acquisitions, its extent (North America or Europe).

Accommodating data visuals (two, side-by-side tables).

Introducing a new perspective of facilities, scale and the strategic positioning.

Framing: to inform users of current industry posture, innovation pipeline and what is next.

Scale and ITAs Infrastructure Deployment & Evolution

Launched in 2021 by the merger of five legacy companies, CSP, Nepal Plastics, Benet Automotive, CSP Vic tall, and Teijin Automotive Technologies Europe have a long history of materials expertise and design-to-production competences pooled into one company.

Metric	Value (as of 2025)
Annual Revenue (North America)	> USD 1 billion
Employees (North America)	~4,500
Facilities (NA)	14–15 locations in U.S. & Mexico
Global Presence	Operations across North America, Europe, Asia

2025 Rebranding: Teijin Automotive to CSP

By July 1, 2025, Teijin Automotive Technologies in North America went back to its original brand (CSP) with a redesigned graphic image that is linked to the modern concepts of mobility, light and innovation.

Key changes:

The introduction of a new, modern logo having thinner lines and with a forward tilt.

The Corporate restructuring of CSP, led to the retirement of the name and brand Continental Structural Plastics.

The new tagline: “The Composites Solution Partner”.

The Teijin Automotive Technologies rebrand symbolizes the independence that CSP has regained in becoming a privately-owned entity with a freshly-empowered agility in the market.

Property Transfer Ownership Change & Trends

Before the turning point, March 2025 witnessed the acquisition of Teijin Automotive Technologies North America by Aurelius Private Equity (Mid-Market Buyout) at a moment that signified its transformation to a more streamlined yet growth-focused organization.

Bringing operational improvement focus in place, setting the stage to:

Catch-up on R&D in advanced composites.

Increased process efficiency in locations

Increase in the sustainable manufacturing capacity.

Strengthened connections with OEMs with designate value development services.

Global Manufacturing Footprint

Though rebranding and change of ownership only apply to North America, Teijin Automotive Technologies, CSP, have a larger and more global background.

North American Plants

Auburn Hills (MI), Manchester (MI), Carey, Conneaut and North Baltimore (OH), Lenoir and Salisbury (NC), Sarita (LA), Grabill and Huntington (IN), Seguin (TX).

Mexico: Saltillo, Tijuana.

Global (Legacy TAT footprint):

Czech Republic, France, Germany, Portugal.

Asia-Pacific: China, Japan.

Region	Operations
North America	CSP-operated facilities post-2025
Europe	Continues under Teijin Automotive branding
Asia-Pacific	Ongoing operations via Teijin legacy networks

Product Technologies Key

CSP (formerly Teijin Automotive Technologies) focuses on innovative advanced composite materials to fulfil both structural and aesthetic demands in areas of mobility.

Thermoset & Thermoplastic Composites: Glass and carbon fiber reinforced systems used in the components present in a vehicle.

TCA Ultra Lite Â: Lightweight Class A, body panel material (specific gravity 1.2), tough enough to withstand e-coat processes.

Structural Ultra Lite TM: 60 percent lighter than steel, does not dent, rust, and hold up against corrosion-best suited with pickup boxes and EV battery enclosures.

Setebos(r): 100 percent recyclable, carbon-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics, which are characterized by tensile strengths to impact resistance, and fast curing times.

Battery Enclosures: SMC Composites designed to resist fire, thermal-runaway and lightweight.

Sustainable & Life Cycle Benefits

Lightweight composites will help to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, but CSP (and TAT, through its legacy) delves down to the lifecycle focused innovation.

Key benefits:

Less use of CO 2 in manufacture and disposal.

In-house carbon fiber minimizes the dependency and raw-material impact.

Process optimization (scrap reduction, recycling, renewable energy and bio-resins) can also reduce CO 2 footprint by up to 76%.

Innovation Infrastructure and & R&D Capabilities

CSP has robust in-house research and development capabilities with IATF-16949-certified laboratories that possess the capabilities to conduct.

FTIR/Infrared spectroscopy
